摘要:BackgroundVibration instability of optical-elements caused by ground micro-vibrations affects the position and focal length of the sample in the synchrotron beamline.PurposeThis study aims to propose a scheme of employing viscoelastic dampers on beamline optical-elements for vibration reduction.MethodsFirst of all, a viscoelastic damper was designed, and the coefficients of Prony series were obtained by nonlinear fitting of shear storage modulus and loss modulus of the viscoelastic materials by shared-parameters mode. Then, the dynamic properties of viscoelastic dampers were simulated by finite element software. Finally, this damper was applied to a long reflecting-mirror, and the harmonic response, transient dynamic analysis, and the static structural analysis of the supporting structure were carried out. In addition, the influence of the installation position of dampers on the damping effect were compared.ResultsSimulation results show that for the 1 μm vertical steady-state sweep excitation, the vertical displacement transmissibility of the mirror decreased by 35.2% (original position), 53.7% (closer to the edges), 32.4% (closer to the center) in the frequency range of 0~200 Hz, respectively. For the 1 μm vertical half-sine shock excitation with duration of 6.25 μs, the RMS values of 0.5 s after impact interference decreased by 70.8% (original position), 79% (closer to the edges), 59.7% (closer to the center), respectively.ConclusionsThe proposed viscoelastic damper can effectively reduce the influence of ground induced micro-vibrations on the mirror, and provide some guidelines for the vibration stability study of other optical-elements in synchrotron beamlines.

摘要:BackgroundX-ray excited optical luminescence (XEOL) is an X-ray photon-in, optical photon-out technique that detects ultraviolet to near infrared (200~900 nm) photons emitted by the sample under soft X-ray excitation. Combining with synchrotron radiation, XEOL can be used to identify the origin of the luminescence and study luminescence dynamics.PurposeThis study aims to build a soft X-ray excited steady-state and transient luminescence detection system at the soft X-ray beamline BL08U1A of Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF).MethodsA data acquisition system was developed independently to realize the simultaneous detection of XEOL and total electron yield (TEY) spectra under different soft X-ray photon energies. A spectrometer, and a set of subsystems, including timing, nuclear electronics and motion control were integrated to realize time-resolved XEOL (TRXEOL) detection. Finally, experimental tests were performed to verify performance of this detection system.ResultsThe XEOL and TEY signals at the Cs M4, 5 absorption edges of CsPbI3 submicron wires were detected, and the effect of photonic crystals on the output of scintillators was studied. The time-resolved XEOL spectra and decay curves of zinc oxide were obtained by TRXEOL detection system.ConclusionsThe results verified the feasibility of XEOL/TRXEOL detection system at the soft X-ray experimental station BL08U1A which provides a good technical means for studying the luminescent mechanism and luminescent dynamics of materials at SSRF.
摘要:BackgroundBack Compton scattering (BCS) as a photon acceleration mechanism, has gained more attention and application in recent years.PurposeThis study aims to investiage the polarized gamma beam characteristics of laser Compton scattering (LCS) gamma source based on the soft X-ray free electron laser (SXFEL).MethodsThe numerical simulation method was employed to study the beam properties of LCS source based on SXFEL. Characteristics of its energy, flux, polarization and quasi single energy were analysed in details.ResultsThe results show that the LCS gamma source has the advantages of high energy, high flux, high polarization and monoenergetic beam. The gamma ray energy can be changed continuously between 1 MeV and 80 MeV by adjusting the electron energy and the laser wavelength. With a collimator gamma energy resolution will reach ≤4%. Most importantly, the gamma rays are nearly 100% polarized and the polarized gamma beam spot is affected by the laser polarization properties.ConclusionsThe calculation shows that the LCS gamma source at SXFEL will be a high quality gamma facility with high energy resolution and high degree of polarization.

摘要:BackgroundThe Chinese spallation neutron source (CSNS) drift tube linac (DTL) accelerator has been put into operation since December 2015. During the low power measurement of the DTL cavity, except for DTL-1, the operating frequencies of DTL-2, DTL-3 and DTL-4 were all lower than the design value, and the frequency to be compensated exceeds the tuning range of the slug tuners. It was found that the insertion of the slug tuners was too deep and cavity modes were coupled, which destroyed the double-period chain of the cavity.PurposeThis study aims to change the DTL structure to make field stability meet the engineering requirements.MethodsThe computer simulation technology microwave studio (CST MS) was used to calculate the stability characteristics of the axial electric field, and the grouping rule of the post couplers (PCs) was given, which accelerated the tuning efficiency. The internal length of DTL-2 slug tuners reached the adjustment limitation, hence two movable tuners were changed from 50 mm to 60 mm to make the working frequency satisfy design requirements. The tuning rings were added to the PCs of DTL-3 and DTL-4 cavity to increase the frequency.ResultsExperimental results show that the field flatness was within ±2%, the stability was tuned to within ±150% / MHz, and the resonant frequency was adjusted to 323.9 MHz±10 kHz at 25 °C.ConclusionsWith structure adjustment for DTL, measurement results meet the engineering requirements.

摘要:BackgroundEnvironment airborne radioiodine monitoring is important for the operation of nuclear power plants and public nuclear safety. The airborne radioiodine generation technique is essential for airborne radioiodine research, including its measurement technology and behavior characteristics. Although many airborne radioiodine generation techniques have been developed, little attention has been paid to higher performance generation techniques and detailed understanding of the generation process.PurposeThis study aims to develop a successive airborne radioiodine generation measurement system.MethodsTwo series-connected collection containers, two NaI(Tl) spectrometers, and one computer with self-developed software, were employed for the composition of this successive yield measurement system. In the process of airborne radioiodine generation, the series-connected collection containers were connected with the generation container for continuous airborne radioiodine collection whilst the NaI(Tl) spectrometers monitored radioiodine in the collection containers and generation container in real time. Meanwhile, the measured spectrum was sent to the computer and analyzed by self-developed software. Hence the change of yield with time during the generation of the airborne radioiodine could be reflected by the software. The major influences in the measurement were also discussed theoretically and experimentally, including interference of measurements between radioiodine in different containers and inconsistencies between radioiodine collection containers. Finally, the uncertainty analysis of this measurement result under typical working conditions was performed.ResultsThis measurement system was applicable to various airborne radioiodine generation techniques including inorganic iodine, organic iodine and aerosol iodine. The measurement period was adjustable. Considering the measurement frequency and uncertainty, the recommended measurement period was 20 s. Under typical working conditions, the expanded uncertainty of the measured yield was 2.5% (k=2) while yield was 90%.ConclusionsThis successive yield measurement system could be used to observe the detailed process of airborne radioiodine generation, and provide a powerful tool for the optimization of airborne radioiodine generation techniques.
摘要:BackgroundWith the rapid development of the aerospace industry, deep space environments, space stations, and long-life satellites have set higher requirements for space environment radiation dose detection technology. Positive channel metal oxide semiconductor (PMOS) tubes based on silicon-on-insulator buried oxide (SOI BOX) is one of key candidate device for next-generation radiation detectors of high-sensitivity and wide-range irradiation sensors.PurposeThis study aims to investigate radiation response characteristics of an embeddable SOI radiation sensor.MethodsComprehensive radiation experiments were preformed to study the influence of irradiation bias on the sensitivity of SOI BOX PMOS, the sensitivity response difference in various radiation dose rate, the annealing characteristics of SOI BOX PMOS after irradiation and its influence on the sensitivity of radiation response, and the relationship between the width to length ratio of SOI box PMOS and its sensitivity.ResultsThe results show that the sensitivity of SOI BOX PMOS to radiation dose is better than that of traditional bulk silicon sensor under the same cumulative dose, and the threshold voltage drift of SOI BOX PMOS under irradiation bias. The irradiation change of threshold voltage is almost unaffected by annealing effect. Compared with wide-channel devices, threshold voltage drift of narrow-channel device is more obvious.ConclusionsThrough the design of the SOI BOX PMOSFET (Positive channel Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) structure, important research results such as adjusting the sensitivity of the detector and balancing the relationship with the range have important application value for the development of the next generation of new radiation dose detector.

摘要:BackgroundEnergy selection section (ESS) is an important part of the beam line of Huazhong University of Science and Technology Proton Therapy Facility (HUST-PTF). It is located downstream of the cyclotron and includes a set of quadrupoles, a kicker magnet system, an energy degrader system and a double bending achromatic (DBA) section. Various types of vacuum pipe and several inserts are placed in this section. What's worse, large radiation exists in the downstream of the degrader.PurposeThis study aims at the design of the vacuum system and the selection of the vacuum pump to satisfy system requirements for better than 5×10-4 Pa dynamic vacuum pressure.MethodsFirst of all, the ESS vacuum system was simulated by Monte Carlo method in the MOLFLOW software. Then the pressure distributions under different working conditions were analyzed, and the mechanical strength of various vacuum pipe was calculated and checked.ResultsThe simulation results show that the pressure in the ESS is lower than 4.14×10-5 Pa, an order of magnitude better than the system requirement. The mechanical deformation of various vacuum pipes is less than 0.3 mm, avoiding the extra beam loss.ConclusionsBoth of the dynamic vacuum pressure and the mechanical strength can meet the design requirements.

摘要:BackgroundWhen fuel rod cladding failure occurs, the defect needs to be determined and information needs to be provided for system response in time. Escape rate of fission gas is adopted to reflect the defect size. However, there is hardly researches on mechanisms of gas release.PurposeThis paper studies the effect of unsteady process, the pressure and temperature of the coolant on the instantaneous escape rate of the rod cladding breach by experimental simulation.MethodsFirst of all, the experimental apparatus was designed on the base of geometric similarity, flow similarity and flashing similarity. Then, influence of coolant pressure and temperature in a subchannel was investigated by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods. Effect of flashing on unsteady process and escape rate in short-term were analysed.ResultsThe results indicate that unsteady process has no distinct effect on release of gas at defect size of 0.5 mm. Long-term escape rate remains steady during experiments and release process can be described by first-order kinetics. At the same coolant pressure, long-term escape rate increases when coolant temperature changes from 90 ℃ to 110 ℃. At the same coolant temperature, long-term escape rate decreases when coolant pressure changes from 0.3 MPa to 0.5 MPa.ConclusionsA negative correlation is found between long-term escape rate and subcooled temperature, which indicates that liquid layer formed on the defect has impact on fission gas release.
摘要:BackgroundOnline monitoring of containment deformation is an important method to evaluate the safety status of nuclear power plant during operation. Additional strain gauges are required to be installed on the outer wall of the shell when the embedded parts failed.PurposeThis study aims to verify whether the monitoring data of the additional strain gauges can reasonably reflect the law of internal deformation.MethodsFirst of all, based on the ANSYS software, a three-dimensional refined calculation model for the containment structure of a nuclear power unit CPR1000 was established. Among them, the solid reinforcement method and cooling method were used to simulate the prestressed tendons and the application of pretension. Then, the interactions between steel liner and concrete in the integral model were realized by considering the nodes coupling and the influence of ordinary rebars in concrete. Furthermore, the reasonable reliability of the established calculation model was verified by using ANSYS, and the monitoring data of the embedded monitoring strain gauges under the pressure test of nuclear power unit during the overhaul period. At the same time, the material parameters of the model were modified by sensitivity analysis of the parameters of concrete and prestress. Finally, the relationship between the internal deformation and external deformation of the containment structure and its variation rule was discussed under typical load.ResultsThe calculated results demonstrate that the calculated strain values of the modified model are in good agreement with the field monitoring results, and the wall thickness away from equipment hatch are linearly distributed when the value of elastic modulus of concrete is 45 GPa and other parameters are taken as the initial values.ConclusionsThe monitoring results of added strain gagues on the outer wall of containment building can well reflect the internal deformation law and the alternative is feasible.

Then the pressure drop of liquid helium flowing through the central cooling hole of the conductor was calculated to find the corresponding parameters.Results & ConclusionsThe analysis results show that under the same working conditions, the temperature difference values of the series components arranged by the coils are different. After comparison, the toroidal field magnet adopts the arrangement scheme with coil turns of 154. In order to ensure that the temperature of the toroidal field coil case and the conductor jacket are within the range of 20 K and 5 K respectively, the mass velocity of the inner cooling hole of the box wall and the central cooling hole of the toroidal field magnet are set to 3.6 g∙s-1 and 9.5 g∙s-1 respectively. Under the given mass velocity, the pressure drop of liquid helium in the central cooling hole of the winding conductor is 1.72×105 Pa.
